Assalamu Alaykum,

Hope you enjoy!
We begin in the Name of Allah ﷻ, the Most Merciful and Compassionate,
We ask that He ﷻ sends Peace and Blessings upon our noble and beloved
Prophet Muhammad ﷺ
Salah (prayer) teaches you modesty. You dress well, you cover well. If you can learn to cover yourself properly for Salah, you can cover yourself outside of Salah. But if you can't cover well for Salah, then I don't think you can truly apply modesty outside of Salah.
I'm shocked at the way some people dress for Salah. This is not clothing for God. If you can't dress well for Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala, it reflects a lack of self-respect or sense of dignity. It's like if I don't smoke, don't smoke in front of me—there's a level of common sense and respect that should apply, especially in our approach to Salah.
May Allah ﷻ grant us tawfiq to dress modestly.
أقول قولي هذا وأستغفر الله لي ولكم، فاستغفروه إنه هو الغفور الرحيم
